Speeding School Bus Overturns in Mahabubabad District, 30 Students Injured

Mahabubabad: In a harrowing incident, a school bus carrying 30 students lost control and overturned in the Danthalapally mandal of Mahabubabad district. All the thirty students aboard the bus have suffered minor injuries. The accident happened when the bus from Nalanda School in Thorrur town, was on its way to pick up the students. The cause of the accident is reported to be over speeding by the driver of the bus who is absconding after the incident.

Parents and students have alleged overspeeding and reckless driving as the cause behind the unfortunate incident. This is the second such incident in the last ten days in Mahbubabad, where the carelessness and irresponsible behaviour of the private school bus drivers has put the students' lives in jeopardy. On July 24th, a bus with 22 school children in Kesamudram had a miraculous escape when their bus overturned on a bypass road as the driver was distracted while talking on phone.
